fly inside

fly inside

A Poem by James Paulin
"

cameo

"

infernal

ubiquitous pests

flyswatter, folded paper, spray

shoo away

summer buzz in while going out

trace its flight, ready to strike

one less

haha, great poem! the simplicity and understatement of the last line, 'one less', is so morbid, yet funny at the same time :D ...but, though flies in the house *are* annoying, it's the mosquitoes outside that are the real evil in my opinion ;)
